Daily Inspiration

“Brothers and sisters: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each must do as already determined, without sadness or compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. Moreover, God is able to make every grace abundant for you, so that in all things, always having all you need, you may have an abundance for every good work. As it is written: He scatters abroad, he gives to the poor; his righteousness endures forever. The one who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed and increase the harvest of your righteousness." -2 Cor 9:6-10

My friends, this life here is just a blip, the tiniest of moments compared to the eternity that awaits us. If we truly understood, we would graciously give of ourselves in this life, to build treasures in the next. Consider that all we have was given to us by the Lord, and know that as we empty ourselves into Him, He empties Himself back into us. He has given you the seed, but unless it is spread, it will never grow. And, just like the loaves and fishes, the more we give of that seed, what remains with us will always be more than what we started.

Saint Lawrence of Rome, pray for us.
